In a new interview on Tuesday night, Obama appeared to try to backtrack and earn some of the support he had from progressives back by praising “defund the police” activists while also warning them about the dangers of this slogan when it comes to alienating others.
“Nothing made me more optimistic during a difficult year than the activism that we saw in the wake of George Floyd’s murder,” Obama said on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.”
“I have consistently believed that their courage, activisms, media savvy, strategic resolve far exceeds anything I could’ve done at their age and I think has shifted the conversation in ways I would not have even imagined a couple of years ago,” he added.
